The coronation of King Charles III will take place on May 6 next year at Westminster Abbey in London, Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday.

Watch those prices shoot up for accommodation. Given the prices being asked around Liverpool for the Eurovision final I can only imagine what it will cost to be anywhere near London then.

We were there during the platinum festivities, so are very happy to be missing out on all the added congestion next year!

Heti, too late! Having been booking hotels for next year, they seemed to be anticipating the event and jacked them up accordingly. Fortunately we booked our London dates before the queen passed. Maybe hotel rates will come down for June.
